The Incubus System Chapter 482. A Brat and A Narcissistic Father I
I plopped myself onto the sofa.
"TV?" I offered to turn on the TV. My hand opened my can.
"No, thanks," he replied and sat beside me.
I looked at him from the corner of my eye.
"So, what do you want to talk about? A pep talk?" I asked before I sipped my drink. It tasted like cola, just a bit bitter.
"Pep talk?" he scoffed. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who will do it?" I could catch a trace of cynicism in his voice.
I shrugged. "So what do you want to talk about?"
He was silent for a moment, trying to find a topic of conversation. "You've been staying for a few weeks. What do you think of the dark dimension?" he asked.
I cringed upon his question.
"What?" Even though I heard him clearly, I couldn't believe my ears. If I was a tourist, that was the right question for me. But I wasn't. It didn't matter what I thought about the dark dimension, whether I liked it or not... I was going to stay here and take over his throne one day.
He smiled wryly.
"Like I said this is useless talk," he said nonchalantly.
I took a deep breath.
"What can I say? This world is different from the human world, including the law and everything. So I still have to learn it. But I'm glad that this world has everything that humans have. I thought I would be stuck in a similar world to the medieval era," I decided to answer him.
"As for the others, I haven't explored this world much. What I know are only a few cities, this mansion and the 99th floor," I added.
"It was you who wanted to hide your identity and become a secret agent. Don't blame me for that," he complained about my last statement.
"It's better than being isolated in the human world and waiting for the all-mighty demon king to clear things up. After all, weren't you planning to hide my identity from the start?" Yeah, I said that 'all-mighty king' in an annoying tone.
"You are just a kid. I just wanted to protect you," he reminded me.
That made me turn to him. A frown on my forehead.
"19 years is considered an adult in the human world. " This time I was the one who reminded him.
Just like me, he turned to me. A frown on his forehead.
"You are aware that the demon's lifespan can be more than 2000 years, right?" He gave me another reminder.
"I was raised as a human. Don't push your demon logic on me," I complained. I knew I was weak before, but I didn't like being treated like a child.
"You are a demon now. So yes, you should use your demon logic more," he said in annoyance.
"But the fact is I'm not a kid anymore and don't act like one. I've proven myself and am much stronger now." I had proven a lot to him so I couldn't accept this.
"After those worrying training? Yeah, right. I'm pretty happy I didn't get a heart attack when you lost in the Abyss," he scoffed.
I gave him a flat stare. Okay, the fact that he was looking for me in the Abyss already showed it.
"You were the one who permitted me. Besides, it wasn't my fault," I added.
"I was. But you should know your limit. Bravery and stupidity are two different things," he reminded me.
"I know where my limit is. I've made careful plans before I do a thing," I retorted. Well except for what happened in the last tier of the Abyss. That was beyond my prediction and I was sure it was also beyond his. "Or do you prefer a coward son? Besides, doesn't that bravery and stupidity thing suit you better? You are weakened but you still act as if nothing happened. Take a vacation. Go to the beach or something," I continued in an annoying tone.
That was enough to trigger him. He raised his chin arrogantly. His eyes stared at me intently.
"Do you underestimate me?" he asked in displeasure.
"It was you who started it first. You just called me stupid despite my rapid development," I reminded him. Seriously, I didn't get it. Why our father and son relationship was not like my previous relationship with my human father.
We glared at each other for a few moments. Our annoyance was clear on our faces. Even though I wanted to challenge him for a round, I decided to swallow it. He just fixed the border and his energy hadn't fully returned yet. Plus he had to be on high alert since I was about to execute my plan. So I couldn't do it over my ego.
As if on cue, we sighed.
"Forget it..." we spoke in unison like a chorus. It was enough to create an awkward silence between us.
Although I was not sure, I bet he said it because he knew I had to execute my plan tomorrow morning. So we shouldn't be fighting for this stupid reason.
I chugged my cola again before I took the remote and turned on the TV without his permission. I wanted to avoid this awkward silence so the TV sound should be able to reduce it.
Unfortunately, there was no interesting film other than the wildlife documentary on the dark dimension. But I decided to watch it and hoped it would make me sleepy. It was kinda similar to watching how a lion hunted in the middle of a savanna with many gory scenes and horror special effects.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Lord Damon spoke again.
"That first question. I asked it since I don't want you to regret it," he asked out of the blue.
I turned to him and gave him another frown.
"Huh?" My confusion was clear from the tone of my voice.
"You will rule this place one day and I just want to make sure that you don't hate it," he added.
"I thought I had no choice for that," I said.
He turned to me.
"You don't. I don't." A regretful exhale left his mouth. "I realize I have forced you to take this duty and it will be your responsibility for the rest of your life. You are still young and raised as a human being. I believe you have had other dreams before and I took it from you."
"Not really," I replied, turning my eyes to the TV and drinking my cola again.
I took a Management major at Diamond College in the hope I had enough knowledge to manage my own business someday. Moreover, it also taught me how I could start my own in the final semester.
But rather than a simpler thing like that, fate said differently. I had to manage my own kingdom in the future. Well, on the bright side I could still put good use of what I learned in college even though theory and real things were two different things.
